(Quadratic Equations)
Analyzing the graph1. Where is the function increasing?
2. Where is the function decreasing?
3. Is the function even?
4. Are there any “extrema”? If so, what type are they?
5. How does it relate to its “parent function”?
6. What is the “end behavior” of the graph?? , as yx? , as yx
7. What is the “domain” of the graph?
8. What is the “range” of the graph?
9. What is the “average rate of change” between two given values of ‘x’?
What more are we trying to learn?
We will learn some tools
that will help us to find
where graphs cross the
x-axis.
What is the y-value of an x-intercept?

Perimeter: the distance around the rectangle.
Area = L * W
You have 100 feet of fence.
100 = 2L + 2W
50 = L + Wx
???
50 – L = W
50 – x = W
50 – x Area = L * W
Area = x(50 – x)
Area of a Rectangle x
50 – x
Area = L * W
100 = x(50 – x)
A = x(50 – x)
What is the length that gives
the maximum area?
x = 25
x = 25
What is the maximum area?
A = x(50 – x)
A = 25(50 – 25)
A = (25)² = 625
